There's a sore lack of documentation at the moment, but the packaging repo is here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/packaging, and the README is a good start. In the most simple case, if someone wants their own rpms, they need to 1) install rpmbuild, facter >= 1.6.x, and ruby > 1.8.5, and rubygem-rake on your EL-based workstation 2) git clone puppet, switch to branch you desire (2.7.x or 3.0.x) 3) in the top level, do rake package:bootstrap and rake package:rpm This will dump puppet rpms for their dist in a./pkg directory. This will give you an RPM. >>> >>> >>> Unfortunately we don't have nightly RPM builds at this point in time. >>> It's definitely on our list of things we'd like to provide.
